Amber's View: April 2010

---
Back in April, 2010, I had just begun a new, ill-fated job. The company has ceased to exist. But for six glorious photo months, there was THIS view from the CEO's window on the 15th floor of the Graham Building in Center City, Philadelphia.
----
My view was of a narrow alley way between buildings. Just several doors down, was Amber's office, looking out at the best view of City Hall in Philadelphia.
----
It was lunch hour, and Amber's Administrative Assistant escorted me into the office so I could get this capture. I did NOT give into the temptation to scrutinize the CEO desk.
------
A reworked resubmit.
---

Just had normal communications restored. Since the great East Coast ice storm early in the week, I have been without internet, telephone (land line), and cable tv. Couldn't even receive emails on my cell phone unless I was away from home. Glad to be back.

  You bet, glad you're connected. That's miserable, being out of touch. I've been too, sort of, on the travel road. Doubt I'd ever get any work done with this great urban view.

  I am so glad you got things up and running again and know that had to be such a frustrating time for you Michelle. And I am so glad you were able to get this most beautiful picture and you are so right. It has to be one of the Cities best view. I love the buildings, the gorgeous colors, the details, that sky. A favorite for my my friend. Love it a lot.

  Beautiful view and photo, Michelle
I'm glad your power and utilities have been restored.
It is a very trying experience to deal with over that long a time.
Here's hoping it never happens again
